THE VICTORIANS - JACOB REES-MOGG KARTONIERT (TB)

They built a nation. Now it's our turn.Many associate the Victorian era with austere social
attitudes and filthy factories. But in this bold and provocative book  Jacob Rees-Mogg --
leading Tory MP and prominent Brexit advocate -- takes up the story of twelve landmark figures
to paint a very different picture of the age: one of bright ambition  bold self-belief and
determined industriousness.Whether through Peel's commitment to building free trade 
Palmerston's deft diplomacy in international affairs  or Pugin's uplifting architectural feats
the Victorians transformed the nation and established Britain as a preeminent global force.Now
200 years since the birth of Queen Victoria  it is essential that we remember the spirit  drive
and values of the Victorians who forged modern Britain  as we consider our future as a nation.
